“The cottage was absolutely fantastic, well equipped and very homely.”

It was perfectly located to visit all over the Lake District. Lovely and quiet and you get a superb view while eating at the table. Would highly recommend this cottage for couples and families as plenty of space. If going back to the Lakes, which we probably will, we would definitely stay here again, it’s a credit to the owner.

Excellent communication from the owner. The cottage was spotless and was well equipped. Would highly recommend it.

“Beautiful cottage, ideal location for exploring the lakes.”

Couldn't fault any of it.

Royston April 2025

“All cottages, regardless of how clean and well maintained they are still have their minor problems.”

2 Westview had a detached front door threshold plate which kept being kicked as we walked into the property. The beds we all found were too hard. There was a cracked small glass tumbler which we had to dispose of, however, all facilities, crockery, cutlery, etc, clean, and in situ. Property was clean, no cobwebs the front door as detailed by the owner did have a strange Yale lock which needed managing. Breakfast and meal times throughout the day, but a treat because of Simply the view from the rear of the property. We enjoyed having a main bathroom and an ensuite. That was a nice touch.. We lacked nothing everything because of needed was there for us. Having said all of the above, we found the weekend in the property to be very enjoyable, and we would consider it again in the future.

- Royston, April 2025

Thanks for your review. We listen to feedback and have just replaced the mattress toppers. Property Owner
Ellise April 2025

“Gorgeous cottage.”

.great facilities overall. Few little bits that could easily be improved. The back garden is not a garden but a yard/ paved area..no grass and covered with weeds. Just needs a tidy up as the view is stunning from the back kitchen area. The main bedroom is very large but unfortunately the bed let's it down..too small would really benefit from a king size bed and a new mattress as it was extremely uncomfortable. Kitchen is really lovely with everything you could wish to have and more.

- Ellise, April 2025

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I’m going to look at how I can make the bed in the main bedroom comfier. Property Owner
Sarah April 2025

“The cottage was absolutely beautiful with everything you could ever need whilst away - a proper home from home.”

It was spotless with absolutely no sign of anyone else having stayed there before. Quiet and within lots of lovely walks, it was perfectly situated for our needs. We stopped at Morecambe on the way and took a trip to Windermere as most places are within 30/40 minutes of the cottage. Jo phoned us whilst we were en route to make sure any niggles were dealt with and we were overwhelmed with the amount of information she gave us regarding the local area. You can tell she really cares about her guests. We were greeted with lovely biscuits and proper coffee- a real treat. The only downside, for us, was the size of the garden given that we had x2 dogs with us so not much room to sniff about as the whole area is concreted. Both the front and back gardens could do with some TLC as they are looking a little neglected/unloved. Secondly, and more importantly, the comfort of the beds. The double in the master is a mattress on a fold-out-bed with hard slats (non spring form) which gave to a very uncomfortable sleep for us both. My husband ended up sleeping in the single bed. This wouldn’t put us off recommending the cottage though as these issues are easily solved. The cottage is beautifully clean and cosy.

- Sarah, April 2025

Thanks for your feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay, and will think about your comments for future guests. Property Owner
Susan March 2025

“Wonderfully equipped, comfortable, near to Cartmel, Grange- over -Sands, and a short journey to train station and shops.”

Walks nearby for the dog, treats for guests and the dog. Lovely views from the house. Reasonably priced for such luxury. Thanks to the owner for allowing us to stay in this property. We have stayed in many Sykes cottages, and this is one of the best.

- Susan, March 2025

Thanks very much for such a positive review. I’m very pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Wendy March 2025

“West View was lovely and bright, quiet with beautiful views from the well equipped kitchen.”

Plenty of walks straight from the door (I've never driven so little). Easy to find from directions Jo had kindly sent me.

- Wendy, March 2025

Thanks very much for your review. I’m delighted that you enjoyed walking from the house, it’s the same for me. Property Owner
Graham December 2024

“The house was generally great with gorgeous views from the lovely kitchen.”

However the two single beds in the attic room were very small and the duvets hardly covered them. When adults got into them the duvets didn’t cover them. Same for the single bed in the back bedroom - the duvet was single but not big enough for the bed. The double duvet in the front was fine but the bed was on a futon base (as were the attic beds) and uncomfortable. The sitting room was a lot smaller than the photograph suggested and a squeeze for five adults. These were the only stand out negatives in an otherwise well equipped and comfortable house and easily solved by providing larger duvets.

- Graham, December 2024

Thanks for the interesting feedback, and sorry it’s taken so long to respond. I’ll think about your comments and what to do. Property Owner
Catherine November 2024

“Lovely restful week at the cottage.”

Solo traveller with my dog. Couldnt find fault - comfortable and catered for all our needs. Had some work to do and enjoyed the view from my "office" at the dining room table. Jo sent out an itinerary of recommended walks and did them all, the Flookburgh/Cark coastal one twice (prefer it the other way round). Its a lovely base to explore some stunning surroundings from the door step. Recommend this lovely cottage with bells on. I'd certainly book again. Thank you :-)

- Catherine, November 2024

Hi Catherine Thank you very much for such a great review. I’m so pleased you had a good time. I also do the coastal walk both ways depending on my mood Property Owner
Sandra October 2024

“Another comfortable stay with everything we needed to make a perfect base.”

- Sandra, October 2024

Thank you for giving us 5 stars. We’re pleased to host you again Property Owner
Neil October 2024

“Very comfortable stay at the cottage and accurately described.”

Nicely situated property with parking on the street, and usually got a space outside the front door. Only disadvantage was that any walks for the dog, from the property had to be on the lead, due to roads or local restrictions, but there where nice off the lead within 2 miles. Would recommend the cottage to others.

- Neil, October 2024

Hi Neil Thanks very much for your review. I’m glad you had a good stay. Jo Property Owner
Kim September 2024

“We had a most wonderful week staying at West View cottage, such a lovely view, the cottage felt homely, beautifully presented and cared for.”

Had a lovely cat named Alf visit a few times, we highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting premium accommodation for exploring the lakes district.

Joanne August 2024

“We loved our stay from the moment we entered.”

Jo’s detailed information before we arrive gave us reassurance we had booked a professional cottage (bad experience last summer, different holiday company). The cottage is cosy and very comfy. We felt we had lots of space and we loved the view from the kitchen diner. Every single thing you could need was provided and some lovely biscuits and coffee too. Beds were lovely, bedding smelt so fresh! Fabulous location for lots of exploring. The Pheasant Inn is lovely, nice food and staff. Cartmel is a pleasant half hour walk away, lots of eateries there too. We would happily stay again

- Joanne, August 2024

Thank you very much for your very positive review Property Owner

“A lovely terraced property with ample room for 2 adults and 2 dogs - although it's on street parking we had no issue parking outside or nearby.”

It's location is ideal for exploring the Lake District and has a small well stocked shop very nearby and a pub / restaurant which is about 10 / 15 minutes walk away. The owner contacted us prior to arrival with details re. key collection along with great and comprehensive instructions about the house and local amenities etc. Thoroughly enjoyable week away and would return.

Tom December 2023

“We spent three nights at West View and we all had a fantastic time.”

The property has a wonderful location and shares gorgeous views. It had everything that we needed, a great kitchen/diner, bedrooms and bathrooms which were all spotless. There was also a laundry room with an additional fridge freezer which was useful. The three kids all slept upstairs in the loft room which they loved. Any minor issues were dealt with swiftly after a call to Jo and we couldn't fault anything. We would love to return again and try out the beaches in warmer weather!

- Tom, December 2023
Pamela December 2023

“We had a fabulous week despite ( or because of?”

) the snow! The owner was very helpful and soon helped get the fire roaring when we arrived. Lovely kitchen and comfortable and clean throughout. The views over the fields are spectacular and the location for Cartmel, Ulverston and Kendal was perfect. We hope to return as we had a lovely and very relaxing week. Excellent value for money.

- Pamela, December 2023
Margie November 2023

“Jo the owner of the cottage was amazing with me.”

I was a lone traveller with two elderly labradors. I had to walk to the cottage as no taxis available from the train station. Jo phone me several times during my walk and gave me excellent directions to the cottage. She phoned when I was at the cottage to check I was alright. Jo kept in contact throughout the week as she know I was on my own. She gave me some really good tips on the various walks available. The cottage was lovely, a real home from home. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped. I would definitely recommend West View to anyone coming to the area. Thank you Jo for all your support.

- Margie, November 2023

Dear Maggie It was a pleasure. I am glad you had a very good break. Jo Property Owner
Lisa October 2023

“A lovely cottage; comfortable and clean with all the amenities we could want.”

We always managed to park outside the cottage on the road. The enclosed back yard is fairly small but it was safe for our dog to sniff about in. The view from the back windows was fab and we loved having the door open to watch the sheep and enjoy the peace and quiet. Thank you

- Lisa, October 2023
Matt September 2023

“Lovely location good place to stay for south lakes and house.”

Is nice with good facilities Thanks.

- Daniel, August 2023
Sharon May 2023

“The cottage and garden has been slightly neglected.”

The property, in my opinion, needs a deep clean and the garden would benefit from a tidy up. The hall and stairway requires a fresh coat of paint. The cottage was well equipped and in a great location, with easy access to other villages and country walks.

- Sharon, May 2023

Dear Sharon Thank you for your constructive feedback. The garden was due to be tidied, and I'm sorry it wasn't done before your stay. Likewise, I agree that the hallway and stairs are ready for repaint. However, I'm surprised you thought the cottage would benefit from a deep clean. My daughter is staying there this week, and I'll ask her to give it a thorough check. I hope these points did not spoil your stay, and that you were able to enjoy your break. Warm regards Jo Property Owner

Loved the stay and there was nothing left out to make our stay comfortalbe and welcoming, the only slight negative was the front entrance was overgrown with weeds, and the same with the back patio needs some tlc, but I would definately book it again

- Bernadette, May 2023
Karen April 2023

“A lovely property with great facilities.”

The house was cosy and very well equipped with everything we needed for a family break. The location is perfect to visit a lot of different places in the wider area but also has everything you could need nearby such as a good variety of shops and other facilities. We had a great time and hope to visit again.

- Karen, April 2023
Krista April 2023

“Beds in the upper part of the house were uncomfortable but ok for a week stay.”

Some of the legs on the furniture Downstairs need securing. We had a lovely home from home stay and would definitely come back, great location with outstanding views, thank you.

- Krista, April 2023
Tracey December 2022

“Lovely place to stay.”

Well-equipped, clean and plenty of room for all of us. Stairgate, fireguard and nearby playground meant that it was ideal for our granddaughter. Location is close to plenty of interesting places. Would highly recommend.

- Dawn, October 2022
Vishva October 2022

“Well equipped especially kitchen and all the linen.”

The master bedroom was comfortable however the other two bedrooms the single beds were not the best especially for adults. Lounge sofas need attention hence lacked comfort.

- Vishva, October 2022
Gill September 2022

“West cottage is a lovely welcoming cottage on the out skirts of Alithewate.”

“The peace and view from the kitchen is very hard to beat.”

It’s in a great location for exploring the southern lakes and we had a wonderful time with lots of walks with our small dog. Jo’s instructions excellent and the notes near to cooker and patio door particularly helpful as didn’t have to search for the details.. We will return. The Hull family and friends

- Andrew, April 2022
Joanne April 2022

“Lovely comfortable cottage with everything we could possible want or wish for.”

It was great base to explore the southern side of the lakes. We particularly liked visiting Cartmel and found ourselves there almost every day enjoying a drink in the square. Was a bit concerned about parking but never found it a problem and almost always managed to find a space directly outside the cottage. It was a fabulous holiday and would love to come back someday.

- Joanne, April 2022
Claire April 2022

“We loved our stay at the cottage, which was very comfortable.”

The area is fantastic for walking and we enjoyed visiting the local villages and play area across the road. We hope to visit again soon!

Nick August 2021

“Great base for visiting the South Lakes area.”

We'll equipped house, Internet a bit slow but probably all the kids slowing it down.

- Nick, August 2021
Donna July 2021

“Property was immaculately clean and in a great position for exploring.”

It had everything we could possibly need and the views from the rear of the property were great, watching the rabbits whilst eating breakfast and the birds flying over at night. We were worried on road parking would be an issue but this was fine and we managed to park directly outside the property everyday provided you avoided returning at the end of the school day as the property is quite near a quiet village primary school. Would definitely recommend this property.

- Donna, July 2021
Helen June 2021

“The owner has put a lot of thought into providing all the conveniences of home and the kitchen had everything we needed.”

It is a lovely room with the feature doors, restful view and sun in the morning. Living room comfy and a generous starter supply of logs for the burner. The main bedroom is spacious with a well finished en-suite shower room. The second bedroom, with two small size single beds is on the floor above the main bathroom which might be important for some to know, and was a bit of an issue for us - two single friends - ( i.e. who gets the good room?). The third bedroom with a single bed, which is on the same floor as the bathroom has no wardrobe or other storage. Loved Allithwaite and the villages around - very peaceful.

- Helen, June 2021

- Jessica, September 2020
Helen August 2020

“Like most families we needed this holiday very much!”

So having a clean, comfortable, cosy cottage to relax in, make meals in, drink wine in (thanks for the wine!) and just be in a different place was super. A lovely glazed kitchen extension for meals and the patio got abit of sun. We had everything we needed. Lots of books and walk suggestions. Excellent beds, slept well and both showers good too. We couldn't work out the central heating or the recycling arrangements (sorry!) but probably just us! Once we needed to dry clothes as we were drenched on a walk (which didn't bother us, all par for the course in the Lakes!). Lots to do in the area especially if you like walking, great shops in Flookburgh and Cartmel. Went to Morecambe, Arnside and Coniston, all well within an hour s drive. Obviously corona not gone, but the cottage was clean, well organised safety measures from Sykes and we felt completely safe at all times.

- Helen, August 2020
Anne August 2020

Everything as expected. Perfect base for exploring the South Lakes.

Jurgita May 2019

“Very comfortable house with all facilities for all family.”

We stayed for 2 nights and I couldn't imagine better place to stay. Very good location - 30-60min far away from all beautiful Lake District places. Friendly and kind owners made sure that our stay would be more comfortable and unforgettable. Didn't have any issues with free car parking on the road. Highly recommended to everyone!!!

The property is in reasonable condition,the facilities are very good.Easy reach of the coast and lakes.The local pub is very clean,the food is good as is the beer,but sadly well overpriced.

Kevin August 2018

“Generally there was little to complain of.”

only minor issue.....we didnt stop to watch the tv..... but the handset let us down. however the house was more than ample, the dogs had plenty of room .... so did we ; the kitchen was genouinasly stocked with all utensils and pots and pans for our breakfast needs. great views and ideal location for the southern lakes and surrounding towns and villages.

- Kevin, August 2018
Lisa August 2018

“Cottage was fabulous.”

The only downside for where we were was the lack of outside areas for dogs to have a run. The two green areas were no dogs allowed and pavements were narrow or you were walking on the road.

We had a great time, beautiful views, extremely clean and well equipped, if I had to say something I would point out that it had no grass, or dogs wouldn't wee haha we had to walk to a field but really not a hardship Perfect break many thanks

“We all enjoyed our stay in this very well appointed property.”

We loved watching the wildlife from the kitchen window. The photos don't show how spacious the accommodation is, we would love to return.

- Jo, February 2018
John February 2018

“We all enjoyed our stay at 2 West View although the weather was mixed.”

Facilities within the cottage were as advertised. There was a slight issue with cleanliness with a used razor that was left in the soap tray of the shower in the en-suite but that apart everything was satisfactory. It was a delight to look out from the breakfast table onto the hills with sheep grazing and all manner of birds flying by. We were unfortunately unable to connect to the wifi even though we worked to the instructions that were left for us. The cottage was ideally placed for touring and we certainly made the most of it. Our 2 grandchildren aged 4 and 9 really enjoyed the local park which was only a short walk from the cottage. We were also impressed by the friendliness of the local people particularly at the Pheasant Inn where we had a very good Sunday Lunch top off by a generous portion of sticky toffee pudding and custard. Carmel is a delightful village and viewing the historic Abbey is a must see. Grange over Sands has a lovely park and a stroll along the promenade looking out over Morecombe Bay was breath-taking. Yes, we would definitely return but maybe next time it would be in late spring or early summer.

- John, February 2018
Lydia November 2017

“The cottage was absolutely perfect!”

We could have stayed much longer than a week. It is well equipped and has everything and more you can think of. The cottage is very spacious and has a lovely flow. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.

- Lydia, November 2017
Karen July 2016

“This cottage is set in a fantastic location with amazing views.”

It was very well equipt and extremely comfortable as well as being spotlessly clean. My 2 kids loved sleeping in the attic bedroom. Lots to do in the area come rain or shine. Lovely play park just over the road and the Pheasant pub just down the road serves amazing food with very friendly staff.

- Karen, July 2016
Naomi February 2016

“Beautiful cottage felt like home from home.”

Very well equipped, and super clean. The views from the back of the cottage are superb. Good location for surrounding attractions. Would definitely revisit.

- Naomi, February 2016
Wen September 2015

“We found the cottage to be lovely and homely.”

There was a beautiful view and it was situated in a great location. The property was also child friendly with a travel cot, high chair and DVDs available. We would definitely recommend 2 West View to anyone who would like to have a quiet and relaxing countryside holiday.

- Wen, September 2015
Alison May 2015

“10 out of 10!”

A fantastic holiday cottage in a beautiful location. It was within walking distance of Grange over sands and Cartmel and had good local shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, etc. Easy access to the Lake District and Yorkshire dales.

- Alison, May 2015
Mrs Kerr October 2014

“The cottage was fantastic.”

The village was quiet and peaceful, the views were stunning and everything was near to hand so didn't have to drive too far to find something to do. Would definitely recommend this for families and couples of all ages, can't wait to go back.

- Mrs Kerr, October 2014
Jennifer September 2014

“Really good for a car free holiday, within cycling distance of the train station, secure bike storage.”

Really well equipped cottage, nothing lacking. Very well presented too, the photos on the website don't do it justice.

- Jennifer, September 2014
Gwen September 2014

“The cottage was so close to beautiful areas and we did not have to go far.”

It felt like going home every evening and everywhere we went the people were friendly. We did not want to come home.

- Gwen, September 2014
Anne July 2014

“We had a wonderful holiday in the Lake District.”

The cottage was comfortable, clean and well stocked with towels, cutlery and crockery. The kitchen was of a particularly high standard and the views from the dining room were truly spectacular. The owner contacted us before our visit and gave us a number of contact numbers and details which we could use if we had any problems. We had no reason to use these numbers but it was re-assuring to know that help was at hand if we needed it. I would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage.

- Anne, July 2014

House has been finished to a very high standard. The kitchen is well equipped and has lovely views over the surrounding countryside through the large patio doors. Sitting area is comfortable and the wood burner was a treat. Beds are very comfortable providing a great nights sleep after a days exploring.

The property

Cartmel 1 mile.

A delightful terraced cottage situated on the outskirts of the pretty village of Allithwaite, on the stunning Cartmel Peninsula.

Set in a lovely position with views of the surrounding countryside, this cottage provides a perfect base for a small family or a group of friends to get together and enjoy this beautiful area.

The comfortable, well-equipped accommodation features three attractive bedrooms, one boasting an en-suite, a family bathroom, a cosy sitting room with woodburner and a spacious kitchen/diner with glass doors leading to the patio area.

Outside is a delightful courtyard area with patio, which provides a great spot for relaxing with a good book or simply a place to watch the world go by.

Within walking distance are lovely fell walks, a pub serving fine ales and good food, and a playground 200 yards away from the house that the little ones will love.

This is an ideal holiday location to get away from it all and enjoy this quiet, unspoilt corner of the Lake District.

The Lake District National Park, Lakeland Motor Museum, the old village of Cartmel and the pleasant Victorian seaside resort of Grange-over-Sands are all within easy reach, making this cottage a superb base.
